PISCO: Intertidal: Recruitment Monitoring: OSU: Plate: 2001

This metadata record documents the recruitment monitoring study for PISCO intertidal. Settlement collectors are deployed and rock surfaces cleared at various sites along the pacific coast of California and Oregon. At each site there are at least two types of collectors. Collectors made of plastic mesh, ovoid, pot-scrubbers ("Tuffys") target mussel recruits. Plastic 10x10 cm PVC plates covered with 3M Safety-Walk target barnacle recruitment. 10x10 cm square plots were cleared on the rock near each barnacle recruitment plate to target natural barnacle recruitment. Turfys are rectangles of artificial turf that target crab recruitment. All collectors were deployed and plots cleared in the mid zone at all the sites throughout the year. Additional collectors and plots were added to the low and high shore levels in specific years and sites. Although mussels and barnacles were the main target taxa, other organisms were recorded as well.本元数据记录完整记录了PISCO潮间带（PISCO Intertidal）的幼体补充监测研究相关信息。研究团队在加利福尼亚与俄勒冈州的太平洋沿岸各监测点位布设幼体定居收集器并清理岩面。每个点位至少设置两类收集器：卵形塑料网洗碗刷（"Tuffys"）用于采集贻贝幼体；表面覆盖3M Safety-Walk防滑垫的10×10厘米聚氯乙烯（PVC）塑料板用于采集藤壶幼体。此外，研究人员在每个藤壶幼体收集板附近的岩面上清理出10×10厘米的方形样地，以监测自然藤壶幼体补充过程。Turfys型收集器为人工草皮矩形块，用于采集蟹类幼体。所有收集器均于全年在各点位的潮间带中潮区布设，对应样地亦于同期完成清理。在特定年份与监测点位，研究团队额外在潮间带低潮区与高潮区增设了收集器与样地。尽管本研究以贻贝与藤壶为主要目标类群，但同时亦对其他伴生生物进行了记录。
